87 Days of Using MFP :P (lots of Pics)

Well today is day 87 of using MFP and I decided that I have some progress pictures that are actually worth sharing. 
CW: 194lbs
GW: 135lbs
Height: 5'4.5"
Age: 23 years old
I don't have very many pictures of me at my highest weight, but I will share what I do have. I actually started working on my weight last year @ 260lbs and 6 weeks after having a c-section. I had to renew my drivers license last year (about 4 weeks after c-section) and I was utterly disturbed by my picture. In my previous picture, I had been thin and even my passport picture is of the thin me. You could say this picture is what actually set things in motion.
I couldn't believe how I'd let my self gain so much weight. There was no excuse for it. I don't have any medical issues that affect my metabolism. I'm not depressed. I was just lazy and drinking way too much soda (at least 2-2liters a day...before pregnancy I didn't drink soda while pregnant). My eating habits were just plain horrible (again before pregnancy...during pregnancy I was seeing a dietitian). I was completely lacking in all the nutrients my body needs and this of course resulted in me always feeling tired.
This is the closest thing I have to a full body picture. It was take Dec 25, 2011, 2 days after my c-section, and the first time I got to hold my son.
I discovered MFP's phone app in November 2012. I created an account and played around with it for a bit, but decided not to use it at the time. I didn't think that calorie counting was the thing for me.
Starting March 13 of this year, I decided that I should go ahead and try using MFP to help me lose weight. I was 218lbs the day I decided to start calorie counting. I am pleased to say that I have logged every day since then. I have actually discovered that I enjoy counting calories and that it isn't as big of a pain as I originally thought it would be. I didn't decide to start taking progress pictures till March 30.
So March 30 compared to today:
**Today's picture was taken 30 mins after waking up**
And May 2 compared to today:
CW: 194lbs
GW: 135lbs
